"The police are aware of the attack in Uzo-Uwani and the state commissioner of police is already there to ensure that situation is brought under control. The police are also collaborating with sister security agencies like the army, civil defence and the Department of State Services to handle the matter," Amraizu said.

An eyewitness who pleaded anonymity told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Nsukka that the suspected herdsmen numbering up to 300 invaded the community with guns and machetes, shooting sporadically and killing people.

"As they were killing people, they were also setting houses and vehicles ablaze. Many people have been killed; I do not have the actual number" he said.
